Tom, Vicus and Dave came round at the weekend

and helped Himself clean my car . . .

what I did on my hols

Greece was very nice.
The weather was warm, the sky was blue, the Acropolis had fallen down but they seemed to be rebuilding it, and all their statues had their noses and knobs missing.

There were heaps of unattended dogs everywhere and lots of hungry cats that are partial to mousaka. Actually partial to yoghurt, spaghetti, eggs, mars bars, himself’s breakfast, in fact anything I could slip under the table – by the second day I couldn’t get to my seat at breakfast for 378 cats waiting and the waiter was unnecessarily sharp I think.


I found a tortoise but I wasn’t allowed to keep it – apparently customs take a dim view of tortoises and you can’t claim they’re fashion accessories, so himself said. He made me put it back.

We went to Delphi and I consulted the Oracle about a number of things. I have learned that the team in white will win the ashes and not to invest in Polypeck. His place was a bit tatty too, but very good pillars – Doric I believe.

The Corinth canal gave me vertigo which was interesting because I’ve not had that before, another thing for my cv.

The olives are very good, better than Spanish or Italian and the yoghurt is to die for. Ouzo tasted the same as Pastis – is it?

All in all I’d give it 8/10 and send their builders on a few courses.
